...expect) gloss over the brutal fate of the culture they discuss and, as art history, are not pitched at the level of scholarship a European audience feels entitled to. But it is the work that counts, and must be seen, in all its energy and episodic magnificence: a vast panorama, from the haunted fin-de-siècle symbolist canvases of Mikhail Vrubel to the last attempts, by painters like Alexander Deineka, to combine a social message with a post-cubist idiom before the freeze...
...piece of audio equipment. Digital recordings do sound amazingly better, even in the hybrid form available today. Recording apparatus is beginning to be widely used, though hardware for full playback is not yet available outside the lab. Even heard on conventional equipment, the new hybrid records bring a full panorama of sound rushing from the speakers. In rock, digital is like scoring a studio seat next to the microphone. In classical, the sound is like a symphonic apotheosis. Floors vibrate; paint could crack; leases may be broken...
...first-tuners like the Japanese, it is a stunning panorama. There are 3.6 billion chickens in the U.S. but only 170 of them have made it to the 8th Annual International Chicken Flying Contest. It is held, as usual, in the rolling hill country of eastern Ohio, on the 1,100-acre Bob Evans farm at Rio Grande, a crossroads community on two-lane Route 35 between Chillicothe and Charleston...
...relates to the theme of this film, merging into the film's content. If any environment can be epitomized by incessant and omnipresent movement-both physical and psychological-then that locale must be New York.

Assisted by his director of photography, Gordon Willis, Allen created scores of dynamic long takes penetrating...
...movies (including Annie Hall in which dialogue has been filmed mainly by a stationary camera in front of which the characters perform their parts while the audience views the "scene" from a single perspective). In Manhattan, such a histrionic camera set-up is almost entirely replaced by the everchanging panorama of the tracking camera. It appears as though the camera is tenaciously chasing the characters (particularly Allen) who run frenziedly along New York streets or through their apartments, which can be construed as a modern variation of the chases characteristic of the old silent slapsticks...
